Board hears early results from Spin scooter pilot; staff to request ridership and incident data
Summary
Staff reported an initial three‑week Spin pilot with no reported daytime incidents and a $35,000 flat seed fee for the year; board members asked for monthly reports and promised to revisit terms after data collection.
Steve Weathers told the board the Spin seeded deployment is three weeks old and that staff is collecting operational statistics from the vendor. "We have a flat fee of 35,000 for the year," he said, explaining staff planned to request a monthly report of rides, hours and incidents and to renegotiate next year based on performance.
Members asked staff to evaluate potential revenue models (per‑ride fees vs. a flat fee), tweak service areas and ensure data sharing with IT. Weathers said the vendor stages scooters and can rebalance inventory where demand appears, and that staff will bring final ridership and incident numbers to the board once finance and IT compile them.
